Re: [Xen-API] api-xen-lib build error

HelloÂMatthias,

The error message suggest architecture mismatch, are you sure that you've installed 64-bit packages? By the way, instead of copying those files, you could've altered OCAMLPATH:

$ export OCAMLPATH=/usr/lib64/ocaml:$OCAMLPATH

And one more thing, there's a wiki article on building XenAPI:Âhttp://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XCP_Building_InstructionsÂ-- it's a bit outdated but works for the most part.

Hi !

I am attempting to build xapi from scratch. ÂThus, I started with xen-api-libs, downloading the sources from github. ÂBefore starting my build I installed the following packges:

# yum install ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-getopt ocaml-type-conv ocaml-xmlm omake ocaml-xmlm-devel

I then got the following build error:

make -C stdext
ocamlfind: Package `type-conv' not found
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'
ocamlc -g -pp 'camlp4o -I ../rpc-light -I Âpa_type_conv.cmo pa_rpc.cma' -I ../jsonrpc -I ../rpc-light -c -o fe.cmo fe.ml
Camlp4: Uncaught exception: DynLoader.Error ("pa_rpc.cma", "file not found in path")

File "fe.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:


I realized that some of the caml pkgs were placed under /usr/lib/ocaml instead of /usr/lib64/ocaml:

# ls /usr/lib/ocaml/
getopt Âtype-conv Âxmlm

Next, I copied those dirs to /usr/lib64/ocaml. ÂThis seems to have improved the situtation slightly as the type-conv module can now be found. ÂHowever, I now receive the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'

Camlp4: Uncaught exception: DynLoader.Error ("/usr/lib64/ocaml/type-conv/pa_type_conv.cmo", "/usr/lib64/ocaml/type-conv/pa_type_conv.cmo is not a bytecode object file")

File "fe.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Preprocessor error

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'

Your help is much appreciated.

Matthias
